I don't think I've heard her name here, so I'm curious to see if anyone else on Ecto knows of her. The album is very good - I guess it would be classified as folk rock. But then, I'm terrible at classifications, so maybe others would disagree. :) Anyway, it's well worth checking out. Some of my favorite songs include "Suspended," "Murder & Mayhem," "The Ballad of Georgie," and "A Life I Never Knew," but it's all good, really. Anyway, If you go to her website (http://www.noellehampton.com/) and click on "CD Info" there are links to some mp3s and samples and whatnot. jcb.

Dave noted: >She is also scheduled for the Ottawa Folk Festival in August. ... and I believe she's at the Winnipeg Folk Festival in a couple weekends, as well. (At least, a friend who works the festival mentioned that to me a while ago, and said she's planning on checking Jorane out on the basis of my enthusiastic recommendation.) Saw Susan Tedeschi for free on the New Haven Green this evening. It's scary how much she sounds like Bonnie Raitt. Free is about how much I'd pay to see her, but it was a nice way to spend an evening here in town... +==========================================================================+ | Meredith Tarr meth@smoe.org | | New Haven, CT USA http://www.smoe.org/~meth | +==========================================================================+ | "things are more beautiful when they're obscure" -- veda hille | | *** TRAJECTORY, the Veda Hille mailing list: *** | | *** http://www.smoe.org/meth/trajectory.html *** | +==========================================================================+ ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 24 Jun 2000 00:32:52 -0400 From: Bill Adler Subject: The November Project concert I just returned from seeing November Project (www.novemberproject.com) perform at the Birchmere in Alexandria, Virginia. They were excellent, and I was delighted to hear several October Project songs, including my favorite, Ariel, and Bury My Lovely. Listening to November Project, though, was kind of like wondering about which influences a person more: genes or the environment? With a band, what's more important: the singer or the song writer? MaryAnne Marino, November Project's lead singer, has a deep, evocative voice, but it's very different from Mary Fahl's voice (the lead singer in October Project.) If you've ever listened to October Project, you can't help but compare the band's two incarnations, October Project and November Project -- especially when November Project plays their earlier songs. If I had never heard an October Project CD, I would have come out of tonight's concert in awe. But I just couldn't get the ghost of Mary Fahl's voice out of my head, having listened to October Project's two CDs over and over and over again. November Project's song writing, which is done by Julie Flanders and Emil Adler, is as emotional and soul-touching as it has always been. The songs are sophisticated and involved. There's a new song that Julie Flanders wrote about her four-year-old son, who's growing up too quickly. After the concert, my wife remarked that hearing that song really made her miss our two daughters, who are at sleepaway camp. Alright, I was a little teary, too. MaryAnne Marino's voice has a resonance and quality that is an absolute pleasure to listen to. It's not as haunting as Mary Fahl's (I still can't shake the inevitable comparisons), but it's more powerful, with more of a rock 'n roll quality. It is easy to overuse adjectives when trying to describe her sound, but it is the kind of voice that grabs you inside. I'm glad that November Project didn't find a singer who was a clone of Mary Fahl; Marino's distinctiveness suits the band very well. (There information about Mary Fahl's forthcoming CD at http://managramusic.com.) Besides a few October Project songs, November Project played several songs from their EP-CD, A Thousand Days. They also played some songs from their next CD, which is something to look forward to. The bass was turned up, as it should be, because Michael Visceglia's bass playing is something to listen to. This was a high-energy performance -- the best kind, where the band's having as much fun as the audience. November Project is both a performing and studio band -- either way, in concert, or on a CD, they play great music. - --Bill Bill Adler www.adlerbooks.com ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 23 Jun 2000 22:36:04 -0700 From: RAVEN@igc.org Subject: Re: Noelle Hampton At 21:07 06/23/2000, josh burnett wrote: >So, I saw this singer, Noelle Hampton, playing with Penelope Houston >at the Noe Valley Ministry last week That must have been a great show!

I've been talking about her for years on my local (SF Bay Area) music email-list-and-website... I have seen her several times, and I know a few Bay Area ECTO folk who have probably seen her, or at least heard of her. She's had a big following in Mill Valley (the Sweetwater) for several years, playing a monthly gig there... about three years ago she started adding some big-name vents to her resume (such as winning the local Lilith Fair competition) and now regularly plays Berkeley, SanFran, and even a few peninsula gigs. >The album is very good - I guess it would be classified as >folk rock.
